JAMES S. ROBERTSON & SON LIMITED
Company number SC033717 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
JAMES S. ROBERTSON & SON LIMITED is a long-established, asset-rich farming business with a strong track record of net asset growth, doubling equity from £2.88M to £5.65M over the past decade. However, the company operates with critically low cash balances and a stock-heavy working capital position that creates significant liquidity risk, typical of cereal farming but requiring careful monitoring. Any credit facility should be secured against the substantial property assets and structured with covenants that accommodate seasonal cash flow patterns while ensuring adequate debt service coverage.
